My apologies for the quality of the audio. I recently moved and don’t have anything qualifying as a studio yet. Also it sounds like my gain settings were changed en route.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only John Donovan. John and I sit down to talk about art and artistic enjoyment. Can art be subjective? Should you become an artist?

I recently received a gift from a fan – the book “Catholics” by Brian Moore. The book is a foretelling of the direction the Catholic Church is headed after the Second Vatican Council. Here, I read a particular passage, and give my (very) brief thoughts.

I sat down with my father to discuss his extensive work analyzing the epistle to the Romans. He sought out to better understand his Catholic faith and answer objections to issues of theology. His experience seeking out information is a model for us all as we seek to be ever closer to God.
